At Singapore Indesign 2017 on 7 October, we celebrated the best in design with over 1,400 people.

We saw the latest innovations from over 50 brands in nine venues; heard from leading industry experts and influencers about the most thought-provoking issues in lighting, hospitality, retail and workplace; cheered for our favourite team in our first ever designers’ debate; and capped the night off with a fabulous party at one of the most stylish venues in town.
